If only the filmmakers had paid as much attention to plot as they did to the soundtrack, The Mod Squad might have had a reason for existence (other than raking in profits from gullible opening-weekend audiences).

Maybe someone thought a new Mod Squad would be hip, but it's just a big jive turkey.

Nothing really fits together and just to make it worse, the movie is ugly.

It's a terrible movie, really, but I'm not hard-hearted enough to condemn it, because it brings back some of the scrappy feel of '70s TV action series.

[A] woefully uncool, unfunny, unnecessary recycling of the old TV show.

Fans of the TV show say it was cool. The movie is kind of cool, too, but it tastes like cold leftovers after an hour and a half of stupidity.

Whatever countercultural kick the original Mod Squad had going for it, it has long since faded like a favorite pair of blue jeans, the kind you remember fondly but wouldn't dream of wearing again.

Everyone works hard, but the results are sadly short of style and personality or irony and intelligence.

The film's resolute failure is clearly a group effort requiring not just an awful script and flat-footed direction, but also terrible acting, an intrusive and derivative score, and a plot that seems to have been lifted from an unproduced Baretta teleplay.

The Mod Squad is one of the flimsiest excuses for a movie I've seen in ages.

There are only two possible reactions to the film version of The Mod Squad: Either you hate it or you really hate it.

Bad trip. Bites. Whack. Whatever your era and whatever your slang, this new movie version of TV's The Mod Squad stinks.
